Mariners' Hernandez dazzles
Future is now as 19-year-old rookie wins Safeco Field
debut

By JON PAUL MOROSI
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

He deserved a sellout. Instead, he drew a fairly
unspectacular Seattle blend of well-behaved
professionals and families, a typical weekday crowd of
34,213 at Safeco Field.

In fact, even fewer showed up than for Monday night's
win.

Still, Felix Hernandez was gracious to the guests,
offering a prolonged look into what -- for now, at
least -- appears to be a limitless future. Before the
largest crowd he had ever seen, the 19-year-old
Venezuelan ushered in what may be known as a new
chapter in Seattle baseball history, with eight
scintillating, scoreless innings in the Mariners' 1-0
victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
